Abstract
A series of compounds related to 1,2-dichloro-4-benzenesulfonamido-5-nitrobenzene has been synthesized. These included derivatives in which ionizable groups had been placed in the para position of the benzenesulfonamido portion to confer on the compounds water solubility at physiological pH. Thus, carboxyl and quaternary ammonium groupings were introduced in this position. Water solubility was also conferred by introduction at the same position of non-ionizable groups such as polyhydroxyalkylamido groups. Additional relatives of the parent compound in which the chlorine atoms were replaced by methyl groups, and in which para-substituted benzenesulfonamido groups replaced those in the 4 and 5 positions, were synthesized. These compounds were tested for their ability to cure permanently the spontaneous mammary cancers of two strains of mice. All compounds were tested in combination with 1,2-dimethyl-4-(p-carboxyphenylazo)-5-hydroxybenzene. The most active substance found was 1,2-dichloro-4-(p-carboxybenzene...
1,2-dichloro-4-benzenesulfonamido-5-nitrobenzene derivatives show potential in chemotherapeutic treatment of spontaneous mammary cancers, with 1,2-dichloro-4-(p-carboxybenzene) being the most active substance.
